Welcome to the official registry of the .SC Country Code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) for the Seychelles Islands, proudly operated by VCS Pty Ltd (VCS).

Since 2005, VCS has served as the sponsoring organization for the .SC ccTLD. We are committed to managing and promoting the .SC namespace with a focus on stability, security, and accessibility for both local and global stakeholders.

Technical Excellence and Secure Infrastructure

To ensure world-class domain service, VCS partners with Identity Digital (formerly Afilias), a global leader in registry infrastructure and DNS services. This partnership enables the .SC domain to operate on a secure, cloud-based platform supported by a globally distributed network of DNS servers, ensuring high availability, resiliency, and low-latency performance across regions.

Security is further enhanced by full implementation of DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions). These measures protect domain data from tampering and defend against common DNS-based threats such as spoofing or cache poisoning.

VCS also benefits from Identity Digital’s advanced DNS abuse mitigation framework, which includes:

  • Real-time monitoring and automated response systems
  • Active collaboration with organizations such as the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG)
  • Ongoing threat intelligence integration to combat phishing, malware, botnets, and domain hijacking

Our operations fully comply with ICANN policies, international standards, and best practices, ensuring transparency, accountability, and technical excellence. VCS conducts regular security audits, monitoring, and compliance checks to maintain the highest operational standards.

Experienced and Dedicated Team

Our team brings decades of expertise in domain management and dispute resolution. Two team members are alumni of the ICANN Fellowship Programme, ensuring that we remain engaged with evolving global internet governance and policy developments.

Commitment to Community and Accessibility

VCS supports the Seychelles community through locally appointed registrars and offers free domain registrations to government departments, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations under various second-level domains such as .gov.sc, .edu.sc, and .org.sc.

Global Reach with Local Significance

While proudly representing Seychelles, the .SC domain has also attracted global interest due to its versatility, particularly among entities associated with Scotland, South California, South Carolina, South China and the science sector.
